South Park: The Stick of Truth Delayed

The UbiBlog
announces another delay to South Park: The Stick of Truth, saying
Obsidian's cartoon-inspired RPG is now expected on March 4, 2014. They explain
the latest delay to the game is due to how much more work it required than they
anticipated when they acquired
it along with developer THQ Montreal, even though they said it was still on
track for this year months
after the sale which is after they now say they recognized the problem.
"Within three weeks after acquiring the game, we sadly realized we had to turn
this thing upside down if we hoped to deliver the experience everybody wanted,"
says Ubisoft North America’s president Laurent Detoc. "It’s been such a major
overhaul to get to the point where we are that we couldn’t let it go, even if
that meant missing December." They offer
a new trailer showing
the quest for the Giggling Donkey featuring gameplay and lots of cinematics.
They also offer a quote from the game's creators, who apparently speak
simultaneously like creepy twins. "We always wanted the game to feel like you're
actually in an episode of South Park," say Matt Stone and Trey Parker. "Getting
the game up to the crappy standards of the show has been a real challenge and
we’re excited to say it's taken way longer than we thought it would."
